Ingredients

  • 2 large crisp apples (such as Braeburn, Gala or Fuji)
  • 2 tablespoons raisins or sweetened dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 4 Nature Valley™ crunchy granola bars (2 pouches from 8.9-oz box) (any flavor), crushed
  • Milk, cream or fruit-flavored yogurt, if desired

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Cut apples in half lengthwise. Using spoon, remove and discard cores, making at least a 1-inch indentation in each apple half. In microwavable pie plate, arrange apple halves, cut sides up. If needed, cut thin slice off bottoms to keep halves from tipping.
  • Step 
    2
    Fill each apple half evenly with raisins and brown sugar; dot with butter. Cover with microwavable plastic wrap, folding back one edge 1/4 inch to vent steam.
  • Step 
    3
    Microwave on High 5 to 6 minutes or until apples are tender. Top each with granola. Serve with milk.
